Hensley Filemon Acasio Meulens RON (Papiamento pronunciation: [ˈhɛnsli ˈmʏiləns]; born June 23, 1967), nicknamed “Bam Bam“, is a Curaçaoan professional baseball player and current bench coach for the New York Mets of Major League Baseball (MLB). A native of Curaçao, he played from 1989 to 2000 in MLB, Nippon Professional Baseball, and the Korea Baseball Organization. He was the first Curaçaoan to play in both MLB and the Dominican Professional Baseball League.[1]

Hitting home runs left-handed while playing softball as a teenager earned Meulens the nickname “Bam Bam” when his friends compared his power to the Flintstones cartoon character.[2]

Over the course of his career, Meulens would become the first to play for all four of the major Caribbean winter leagues
